5 LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP
Lowest form of leadership.
You have a title and nothing else.
You lead in name only and only as far as
what authority has been given to you.
People will do just enough to please you.
POSITION
Follow because they “want to”.
The beginning of influence.
True growth begins as people follow
voluntarily.
PERMISSION
People begin to produce and follow you
because of what they see you doing for the
organization.
People like what you do and also contribute
themselves.
PRODUCTION
At this point in leadership, you have others
follow you because of what you’ve done for
them personally.
You’ve poured into other people.
They are growing in leadership themselves.
PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT
This is the pinnacle of leadership.
Occurs when people follow you based on who
you are and what you represent or stand for.
John Maxwell says that this level is reserved for
people who have spent years growing others
and their organization.
Very few people make it to this level.
PERSONHOOD
Always replace “I” with “we”.
Quick to give away credit.
Are just as ready to accept full responsibility.
Willing to develop people to the point that
they eventually surpass him or her in
knowledge and ability.
LEADERS
Empower their teams.
Are great “followers” first.
Seek first to understand, then to be
understood.
LEADERS
“No one ever achieves alone what he can do
when partnering with others”
John C. Maxwell
